Has kind of a bonus over a straight mated pair as the one coin is also broadstruck, although I don't think that is entirely rare for these. Now just trying to figure out a way to actually display them in a way that shows off what they are. Each in its own 2x2 just kind of seems like sleeping in separate bedrooms, but stuffing them both in a dollar 2x2 may be better but not optimal. 1999 Lincoln Memorial cent mint error - broadstruck with indent + off center uniface mated pair Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 03:29 am Great pair to study how these errors are made. I wonder how these two coins were kept together? One of those double slabs from PCGS would show them off well I think. Nice pickup! "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15469 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 05:22 am That is a fantastic pair of errors - I as well wonder how these were found as a pair post minting? Perhaps someone purchased a bag of cents direct from the mint and made the connection while searching? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 07:35 am That is a super combo and I agree displaying them together is the best idea. Maybe use two thirds of a 2x2 designed to display Three Cents unless you want to slab them together.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 9:28 pm Thanks all! I've actually bought a sewn bag from 2000 so I know thay made them at least up to that point. I'm pretty sure that's where something like this comes from, you sort through things and find a couple that match. Would be nice to slab them in a PCGS pairs slab but at $70 per coin plus cost for oversize holder and all the fees would likely be almost $200 to do so. The pair as is is probably only worth somewhere in the $300's so can't see doing that. Would love to have them as a shelf display but not really at that expense. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96936 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 9:33 pm Pretty sweet! Do you think that this was an 'on-purpose' error, seeing how the pair remained together. Collecting since 1972.
